Create a mature, Twilight-themed bedroom with solar screen shades

While preteens can freely decorate with posters of Edward Cullen and adorn their rooms in the colored themes of Twilight, older fans may have to be a little more subtle about it. Luckily, TheStir.com has some ideas for those who are looking for more dignified approach to the design inspired by the books and movies.

Black is probably the most instinctive color when one thinks of vampires, but the news source claims that other hues, such as silver, gray and plum can help offset an overwhelming amount of dark shades.

For accessories, antiques and flea market items could be best, to evoke the preferences of both Bella and Edward. Vampires bring to mind 18th and 19th century cobbled streets and dark alleys, so anything that can emphasize this part of the Twilight books could be useful, and may add a touch of the homeowner's personality as well.

Flowers, wrought-iron sconces and Twilight posters can also be useful decorations.

Homeowners may want to hang a chandelier as a source of soft illumination, particularly one that is aged or beaded, but candles can be just as fitting.

A few bursts of natural sunshine can keep the room from feeling drab, and reflect beautifully off the metallic surfaces in a Twilight-themed bedroom. Hanging solar screen shades in a bedroom also offers a view of the outdoors and eliminates glare.
